The Auburn Journal recently reported that about 2,000 volunteers collected approximately 36,000 pounds of trash, appliances, car parts and other debris during the third annual Great Sierra River Cleanup. The event, which is sponsored by the Sierra Nevada Conservancy (SNC), includes a growing list of 50 partner organizations throughout the Sierra Nevada.
Volunteers scoured beaches and riverbanks to collect paper trash, aluminum cans, plastic bags, cigarette butts, cardboard, glass bottles and other items. Some of the more interesting items removed during this year’s cleanup include a cappuccino machine, a spice rack, a burned cell phone and a trampoline frame.

The Great Sierra River Cleanup took place at 100 sites in the Sierra and virtually every watershed was included. Plans are already underway for next year. The Cleanup began in 2009 in conjunction with the annual California Coastal Cleanup event. Combined, the two events make up the largest annual one-day volunteer event in California.
